About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Thursday, November 09, 2006Microsoft Caves to Universal in Music DealMe, in WinInfo:Sending yet another signal of the same desperation that led to the creation of its Zune music player project, Microsoft this morning announced that it has entered into a highly unusual deal with Universal Music Group. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will pay Universal $1 for each Zune device sold; in return, Universal will license its collection of music for sale to the Zune Marketplace online service.It's hard not to get a "doomed from inception" vibe off the Zune. I kind of hope I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure this is a waste of time. [ Posted at 6:01 PM | Permalink ]
